Slippery characters were par for the course at the Texas Reptile Expo September 16, 2012. OK, so there were also some that are scaly, furry, spiky and even a little prickly. Rattlesnakes and cobras, pythons Gila monsters and bearded dragons, tortoises, skinks, blood pythons, chameleons, iguanas, horned frogs, geckos and even tarantulas are all on display.
